From catered chalet options in France, to child friendly hotels in Austria and Andorra, Directski is able to offer the full spectrum of ski holiday options. There are literally hundreds of choices for your next ski holiday. and there is no doubt that Directski will be able to provide the holiday that meets your particular requirements and your budget.

Catered chalets for example aren’t for everyone, they’re typically associated with the more expensive end of the skiing market, for those with a more forgiving budget, however this assumption is often unwarranted. Many catered chalets out there can be amazing value for family ski holidays, with discounts for children. Direct Ski for example offer discounts for children under the age of 12 in their French chalets, so already you’re slashing your skiing holiday budget if you’ve a young family.

So if you’re seeking tips on staying within budget for your upcoming skiing holiday, and at the same time trying to find the best option for your family then here are my Top 5 Ski Destinations for Families.

If it’s your first time heading away on a skiing holiday with your family, the best option budget wise would be Andorra, in particular Arinsal and Pal. Arinsal and Pal have great B&B options, along with hotels and self catering. The icing on the cake here is that you get the whole family on the slopes, and in lessons for cheaper then many other resorts across Europe. Hotel Princesa Park, St. Gothard and Hotel Crest in Arinsal are favourites year in year out with customers.

Soldeau is another great option in Andorra for families, away from the crazy nightlife of Pas De La Casa, but one can still enjoy the great Grandvalira skiing area offering some of the best instructors around. For the younger kids there is kindergarten, plus everything is located near the gondola, so not too much hassle lugging skis about.

Niederau and Oberau in Austria offer great options for families, with amazing hotels like Hotel Sonnchein and Harfenwirt, which attract repeat customers. The reason for its popularity is value. You get to experience all the hospitality of Austrian skiing, but it’s a little kinder to the purse strings. Here they also offer kindergarten so parents can enjoy the Wildschönau Valley.

Chatered chalets all across France offer nanny services, along with crèche services. As mentioned before Direct Ski offer these catered options in Meribel, La Plagne, and Les Arcs, but to name a few, what’s not to love.

Another top spot for families looking to check all the boxes, great skiing, great activities and instruction for kids and ample amenities should look no further then Val Thorens. It has the best of everything, a huge sport centre in the centre of town, hotels and self catering options. Match this with amazing nursery slopes, plus unmatched off piste , there is more then enough to keep everyone occupied. From budget self catering in Temple du Soleil to 4 star Hotel Val Thorens.
